Spring is here finally after a difficult winter. We burned piles of old dead branches last night and the grass is freshly mowed, so now all the new blooms are really popping. All these spring colors are inspiring me and making me feel very happy.
When my friends Lorie and John decided to get hitched, we all decided to throw together a party for them (we had a week's notice). I made this little cake. I'm no pastry chef, but I did have fun making it and it was delicious. Photo courtesy of Geoff Smith.
I love a nice little cocktail every now and again, and I like the book by Charles Schumann called American Bar. It has a classic design with the best illustrations by Günter Mattei.
